Great! I didn't know that :)

# kenv
...
smbios.bios.reldate="07/15/2010"
...
smbios.bios.version="0303   "
...
smbios.planar.maker="ASUSTeK Computer INC."
smbios.planar.product="P7H55-M LX"


Version "0402" is the latest and greatest, so it's time to upgrade. According 
to Asus it "Improves system stability", so let's see if this 'cures' IRQ 16.
